This book explores new experimental techniques and theoretical models to deepen an understanding of radiation effects and ion interaction processes in order to design materials for devices for the emerging quantum technology era.

Applications include tailored sensors that respond to ionizing radiation and other electromagnetic phenomena; sensors with high radiation hardness; and materials that contain specific engineered defects with desirable optical, magnetic, or electrical properties.

The chapters detail direct experimental investigations into the dynamics of radiation-induced defects, including their generation, annihilation, and transformation, on a time scale ranging from femto-seconds to seconds which requires a more detailed understanding to develop the potential of ion beams for the new technology era.

It will be a valuable reference for graduate students and researchers that employ ion beams and want to engage in quantum technologies. The book will also be of interest to scientists and engineers from industry that want to make use of ion beams in quantum technologies or learn more about the potential use of ion beams in the field.

Key Features:

• Provides a comprehensive introduction to this exciting and growing field of research.

• Up-to-date with the latest cutting-edge research and practical guidance for researchers and those in industry to apply to their work.

• Edited by established authorities, with chapter contributions from subject-area specialists.

The prevailing orthodoxy of public service management is that it should be marketized, commissioned, contracted, managed, measured, and evaluated. Futures in Public Management introduces and develops the alternative argument that the objectives for and outcomes sought by institutions working with the public in contexts of health, care and welfare are inherently relational phenomena – they are always complex and cross-boundary, always co-produced by the individuals who experience them through interaction with those who are delivering them in relationship with those providing help/support.

This volume of Critical Perspectives on International Public Sector Management questions the potential trajectories, risks and opportunities in taking relational approaches including the transition from existing and/or emergent forms of organising public management. The implications for the governance and management of organisations and practice of relational public services are discussed, as well as the requirements for new roles and responsibilities for stakeholders that a relational management to public service reform.

Drawing from wider literature to set out the emerging lessons and reflections on relatively long running attempts to create exemplars of what is broadly a relational approach to public service management, the chapters explore the systemic hinterland required to develop and sustain relational public service approaches.
